shut; (:i) observing; (4) being faithful
(5) making his employer think that he
would be lost in the fog without him,
and (G) to be polite. That is a good way
for young man to begin after he gets
there. If he lives up to these rules he
will rot want a friend at court for any

Boliyia's Mineral Wealth.

Bolivia is doubtless the richest in min
erals of any land on the globe, and mill
ions upon millions of precious metals
have been taken out Of her mines by the
primitive process which still exists and
must exist till railroads are constructed to
carry machinery there. Every ounce of ore
that finds its way out of the Andes is car
ried on the back of man or 4 lama,
and the quartz is crushed by rolling
heavy logs upon it. BY this method
Bolivia exports from twelve to fifteen
millions of gold and silver annually, and
the output would be fabulous if modern
machinery could be taken into the mines.

A BALLAD OF TM. SEASON.


met her on the tennis lawn,I
Before the summer flow ois were gone,
One lovely day ut half past five
She hinted she would like drive.
(The livery bill was 81 for that excursion J
spoke OF poetry and art,
And strove to reach her tender heart,
The night was full of locus-tspice,
She hinted at lemon Ice.
(And OF course she had to have cake
and all that, and the lunch cost me s3.25 be-
fore we got through.)
We heard the song OF many birds,,--
My tones were low, and fond my words.
Her smallest wish should obey
She limited at white bouquet.
(The one che wanted cost $2, and rau in
debt for ~
My style grows grave aud | discourse
Religion, ethics, moral force
And placid Joys that love may bring,
She hinted at diamond ring.
Il didn't take the hint, however, aud
changed the subject
spoke Of rustic quiet, walks
In moonlit lanes, domestic talks,
My wife iu simple calico
And then she hlnted could go.
(And her papa accentuated that hint with
the accent on the "o.")
Though lots Of brass, I've not much gold,
SO, is It strange my love grew cold?
Such tcenes affection could not bear
For even one SO sweet and fair.

comfortable home and without mercenary

The Paris Tower.

Paris is to have the greatest tower
in the world, after all. M. EiAePs
tower, which the Government has
authorized him to raise on the Champ
de Mars, will dominate all Paris, and
surpass, in fact almost double. in
height the highest existing structure.
Liberty, to whom such homage is
paid for her grandeur and greatness,
is but pigmy of the statue world
compared with this gigantic monster.
Lord Nelson's monument, London, is
l62 feet; Liberty" New York, 22O
feet; ST. Paul's, London, 800 feet; the
Great Pyramid, 460 feet; st. Peters,
of Rome, 507 feet; the Cologne Ca
thedral, 632 feet; the Washington
Monument, at present the highest in
world, 555 feet; and the Paris Tower
is 200 f It. In order to find out
what M. Eiffel had to gay to the va
rious objections which have been
made to his tower, and to get his
opinion on its utility, 1 called on him
the other day at bis works at
Lenallois- Perret. To him his great
projection is synonymous with the
success of the exhibition.
"What if it topple oyer. M. Eiffel?"
"There is not the least danger of
that. In our construction of the tow
er we have calculated on the force of
the wind. We have calculated that
the tower will normally withstand a
wind pressure of 800 kilogrammes
per square meter, which amounts to a
total pressure of 2,25O, 900 kilogram-
mes. We have made this calculation
on the most fayorable hypothesis pos
sible. We have reckoned the trellis
work as full walls, and made other
allowances. And as the strongest
tempests ever known in Paris have
